If you want to make gold really fast, always click the 'here' icon after you submit something so the page loads faster. This way you can return to a topic or find a new one and begin your response. You can't respond immediately after a post. I think you have to wait like 40 seconds or something.

Do polls. You can do 10 at a time for 10 gold each. Check Chatterbox (http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=23) for tons of polls. After about 10 minutes, do it again.

Join a role play group. You post, develop a storyline, and make gold without effort.

Sell enchanted boxes if you get them in special events. Don't open them. You may not get a good item. You can sell them for 1000 gold (a lot of people want them so you should see who offers the highest price, some people can offer up to 1500). I'd rather take 1000 gold than risk it for something that could be worth like..200. To sell items, go here ( http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=22 ) or to the Marketplace on the Map.

It might even help to save links to topics you like to your favorite places so you can get there immediately.

To buy a trading pass go to the map then the Isle of Gambino's Bank and buy it. It allows you to trade. It costs 500 gold.

Check the Gaia Exchange for any sales. A lot of better items can't be found in stores, so try to save up your gold.

Visit the marketplace on the map to find other items and sales from people on Gaia also.

DO NOT BEG FOR MONEY IN THE WELCOME TO GAIA SECTION! Go to the charity section ( http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=28 ) and do that.
